Table of Contents
A flange mounted bearing is a type of bearing directly attached to the shaft or frame of a machine to facilitate smooth rotation or sliding.
The balls or rollers within the bearing reduce friction at the contact surface between the shaft or frame, enabling smooth rotation or sliding. There are two basic types: ball bearings and roller bearings, each with suitability based on the rotational speed.
In industrial machinery, they are used on spindles or rotating shafts of machine tools and packaging machines. In automobiles, they are employed on shafts of engines and transmissions, while in household appliances, they are found on rotating shafts of washing machines and refrigerators. Structurally, a flange mounted bearing consists of three basic elements: the flange, bearing, and seal. They can be directly mounted on shafts or frames, making installation easy and maintenance straightforward.
